Bahrain: the TV program
After Valtteri Bottas's surprise victory in Australia, the 20 protagonists will meet in Bahrain to try to dominate the Finn who made a strong impression by winning in the streets of Melbourne.
The first race weekend of the 2019 Formula 1 season was for early risers. For this second event in Bahrain, the schedule is more European since FP2, qualifying, and the race will take place at night. However, be careful, don’t forget that this weekend we change our clocks forward by one hour!
In 2010, when the Grand Prix opened the season, the organizers chose to use the long circuit, 6.299 km, usually reserved for the Endurance Championship. This experience was short-lived as the original circuit would be chosen again starting in 2012. The track will celebrate its 15th anniversary in Formula 1 this year. In 2014, the track’s owners decided to name the first corner after Michael Schumacher.
